To make this mouth-watering non-vegetarian recipe, wash the fish fillets thoroughly. Apply salt and lime juice all over and keep aside for 15-20 minutes for marination.

Once the batter is ready, coat the fish fillets with this besan batter and let them marinate for another 20 minutes.

Step 4

Finally, put a kadhai or a skillet on medium to high flame and start heating oil in it. When the oil is hot enough, add the these marinated fillets in the oil and fry until they turn golden brown in colour.
